if you are set on going with 3 or more hoses i would buy a Mya, i have a Mya colossus with four hoses and all but 1 is a self sealing port. This is my party hookah and there is one hose that you can use for purging. The problem with a 3 hose hookah that doesn't have auto sealing hose ports is that they can be a pain to smoke by yourself because you have to plug the other two hoses.
